An area packet scheduler to mitigate coexistence issues in a WPAN/WLAN based hetergeneous network

Energy constrained devices, operating on short-range wireless networking standards such as IEEE802.15.4 and IEEE802.11x, are expected to be deployed for the IoT (Internet of Things) applications. However, co-located deployment of such devices based on different standards using the same 2.4 GHz license free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) spectrum, introduces coexistence issues, specifically intra-and inter […]

Modeling and Simulation of Data Flow for VLAN-Based Communication in Substations

IEC 61850, the standard for communication in substations, has resolved the interoperability between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from different vendors. Thus, the IEDs’ uniform communication standard contributes to the realization of more sophisticated functionality in substation automation systems. However, there are still several issues unsolved for the simulation, planning, and extension of substation communication network […]

Impact of IPSec on Real Time applications in IPv6 and 6to4 Tunneled Migration Network

IPSec is the amalgam of protocols dispensing security in IP networks. It has been the rudimentary security component in IPv4 and IPv6 networks providing for data authentication, integrity and confidentiality. Earlier security was not embedded at the IP level however with emergence of large scale public and corporate internets, the user data became vulnerable to […]

Successful realization of Non-Foster circuits for wide-band antenna applications

Non-Foster circuits (NFCs) are promising for numerous microwave and antenna applications because they are not limited by the gain-bandwidth product. Although NFCs can be very useful in many applications, successful realization of these circuits is difficult because they suffer from several issues, including losses, noise, and instability. As a consequence, an accurate and efficient design […]

Prospects for electric vehicles technology with renewable energy sources in a Smart-Grid environment – An introduction

This article is focused on issues concerning electric vehicle technology, linked to the use of renewable sources and their incorporation into the concept of modern automated (unattended) traffic systems – ATS. This concept creates an ideal environment for the generation and development of so-called “Smart Grids”. Deployment of electric vehicles (herein abbreviated to EV) and […]

Multi-Focus Image Fusion Based on Spatial Frequency in Discrete Cosine Transform Domain

Multi-focus image fusion in wireless visual sensor networks (WVSN) is a process of fusing two or more images to obtain a new one which contains a more accurate description of the scene than any of the individual source images. In this letter, we propose an efficient algorithm to fuse multi-focus images or videos using discrete cosine transform […]

Optimum Wirelessly Powered Relaying

This letter maximizes the achievable throughput of a relay-assisted wirelessly powered communications system, where an energy constrained source, assisted by an energy constrained relay and both powered by a dedicated power beacon (PB), communicates with a destination. Considering the time splitting approach, the source and relay first harvest energy from the PB, which is equipped […]

Silicon photonics and FDMA-PON: Insights from the EU FP7 FABULOUS project

The FABULOUS EU project aims at demonstrating the effectiveness of a self-coherent reflective FDMA WDM PON architecture, achieving record transmission performances and demonstrating an ONU as a silicon-photonics PIC with unprecedented level of integration.

Co-ordinate interleaved amplify-and-forward relaying with a multi-antenna relay

Amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocols are an important class of cooperative relaying protocols. Non-orthogonal AF (NAF) relaying, where the source sends new information while the relay forwards previously transmitted information, can achieve higher transmission rates than orthogonal relaying, where the source and relay do not transmit simultaneously. However, all the transmitted symbols in NAF relaying do […]

Performance study of the dual-stack mobile IP protocols in the evolving mobile internet

The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is an inexorable trend in the development of Internet. However, since IPv4 has been widely deployed for many years, it is mandatory that the existing IPv4 and the newly deployed IPv6 coexist and interoperate seamlessly. With the study of various mechanisms proposed for the interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6, […]
